Yo, my fellow Gamie Duds! Got a hot piece of gossip that’s been buzzing around the grapevine – and it’s all about the next big thing from Ubisoft: Assassin’s Creed Red. Ready to dive into the rumor mill with me? Let’s get to it!

So, the word on the street (or more accurately, from BunnyTheVillain over on Twitter – shoutout to our inside source!) is that Ubisoft’s gearing up to blow our minds with Assassin’s Creed Red, set to teleport us straight into Feudal Japan. Can you even imagine the level of epic that’s going to be?

Here’s the breakdown: Ubisoft’s planning to lift the curtain on this bad boy in May 2024, then follow up with a drool-worthy gameplay trailer at their Ubi Forward event in July. And if all the stars align, we’ll be getting our hands on it come November 2024. Mark your calendars, duds!

This timeline isn’t really out of left field for Ubisoft. Remember Assassin’s Creed Mirage? Announced in May, trailer in June, and boom – game in our hands by October of the same year. Ubisoft’s like that reliable friend who always shows up exactly when they say they will.

But let’s pump the brakes for a sec – as juicy as this gossip is, remember to sprinkle a little skepticism on top. Rumors are like that last slice of pizza: everyone wants it to be true, but sometimes it just isn’t meant to be.

Now, onto the good stuff: Assassin’s Creed Red is all set to take us on a time-traveling trip to Feudal Japan, and word is, Ubisoft is pulling out all the stops. We’re talking a visual feast that’ll make Mirage look like a warm-up act. But the big question on everyone’s mind? How’s it going to stack up against the stunning visuals and ray tracing goodness we’ve been spoiled with lately.

The game’s rumored to be flexing the AnvilNext Engine’s muscles, and I can’t help but wonder if it’ll live up to the hype, especially compared to what Massive Entertainment’s Snowdrop Engine brought to the table.

So, while we’re all eagerly waiting to see if Assassin’s Creed Red can bring the thunder (or should I say, the samurai sword?), let’s keep our expectations in check and our excitement high. Who knows? This might just be the game that redefines stealth action for us. Ubisoft, you have our attention!

Oh, and before I forget – for all my fellow console and PC warriors out there, Assassin’s Creed Red is expected to grace the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC platforms. So, no matter where you play, you’re covered. Get ready to gear up and dive into the heart of Feudal Japan on your platform of choice. The countdown to November 2024 is officially on!
